Asp.net core areas localization

Question

Hi all I'm involved in a localization project. We are working with areas and we need to create the resource file for the languages supported. The default structure ( Resources/Controllers/controllername.culture.resx) work correctly like Microsoft docs. we would like know the directory structure for the rest areas. We have looked for some docs but none we have found. Thx to all

Answer 1

Resource files for C# objects (not views) are being resolved by the namespace they are in. They are relative to the ResourcePath set during the initialization of MVC localization.

Let's say you have set the ResourcesPath in your to "Resources"

services.AddLocalization(s => s.ResourcesPath = "Resources");

and you have a HomeController like this:像这样的的HomeController ：

namespace WebApp.Controllers
{
   public class HomeController : Controller
   {
     ...
   }
}

then your resource files in the folder Resources>Controllers>HomeController.{culture}.resx will be picked up.

In case of a controller you might change to a different namespace like this:您可能会更改为不同的命名空间，如下所示：

namespace WebApp.Admin.Controllers
{
   [Area("admin")]
   public class HomeController : Controller
   {
     ...
   }
}

Note, this is the HomeController of the admin area.

In this case your resource files for this particular controller can live in the folder:

Resources>Admin>Controllers>HomeController.{culture}.resx

can have this naming:可以有这样的命名：
Admin.Controllers.HomeController.{culture}.resx

This works in ASP.NET Core 1.1.0. I have updated the AspNetCore.Identity.Localization project with an area.

Answer 2

If you are using Areas, just put you controllername.culture.resx in the Controllers directory (exactly where controllername.cs is, don't create a 'Resources' directory anywhere).

I suggest you to test with a simple resx ( controllername.resx ). If it works, you can extend it with controllername.culture.resx

Answer 3

Maybe this a bit late answer but however I want to participate, first of all setting the main path as Resource is not enough for configuration. If you have area you must follow these steps.

1. Set the main directory as Resource (or whatever yours)
2. Create the same deep folder path in Resource like Resources/Areas/Identity/Pages/here your resx file.
3. Do not forget that localizaiton works on the model hierarchy so use model namespace path when creating the folder hierarchy.
